Brevis upgrades Pico Prism zkVM, achieving over 99% real-time Ethereum proof based on 16 GPUs
BlockBeats News, February 26, according to official sources, Brevis has upgraded its Pico Prism zkVM. Now, only 2 machines and 16 RTX 5090 GPUs are required to achieve over 99% real-time proof capability for Ethereum blocks, a significant simplification compared to the solution announced in October 2025 (8 servers and 64 GPUs). The average proof time remains at 6.91 seconds, while GPU costs have plummeted from $128,000 to $32,000, and the overall hardware cost has dropped to about $100,000, perfectly aligning with the Ethereum Foundation's capex target for real-time proof infrastructure.
This performance leap is attributed to a newly designed dual-machine collaborative architecture: this architecture eliminates cross-machine data transfer and ensures all GPUs run at full capacity. The Ethereum Foundation has announced that the performance competition is basically over and will now focus on achieving 128-bit provable security to advance the integration of L1 zkEVM in 2026.

After Waller's hawkish speech, the market focuses on "rate hikes", but Morgan Stanley says balance sheet reduction is more likely.
After the Jackson Hole meeting, the market's focus has shifted to interest rate hike expectations. However, Morgan Stanley economist Carpenter pointed out that Walsh's long-standing stance on reducing the $7 trillion balance sheet should not be overlooked. It is expected that the Federal Reserve may begin a balance sheet reduction of more than $1.5 trillion next year, partially replacing rate hikes.
